Quite possibly the worst decision i've ever made!

[Bluebeard]

Sold my 172 last night. Guy came and collected it and for the first time in 18 years i nearly cried.....

Oh mate I feel for you!

 

[crow]

[Bluebeard]

[Turkish]

PMSL!! just noticed that, what a tool! i'm so upset i've forgotten how to use the forum!

(can a mod move this??)

 

[crow]

Y u sell it???

 

[Turkish]

Lol, I know how you feel though. I was gutted when I sold my 5 turbo years back. Really didnt want it to go but didnt have the space or the spare cash to have a second car.

 

[Pete]

I can't understand why people are like this over 1*2's etc, I had a massive smile on my face when I got rid of mine!

 

[Bluebeard]

Got a baby on the way, needed a boot, and some rear doors!

She's promised me I can get another one in 18 months when the little'un can walk.

As for not understanding Pete, I expect 99.9% of the population will never understand how attatched to that car I was!

 

[dannyboy172]

Feel for ya mate....

I had mine up for sale back along, but i don't think i could part with! :S

 

[capturedbyjames]

Don't worry Dan, it's landed in safe hands!

It got me to Dunstable and back home all on the £25 you put in!

Quite possibly the worst way to spend your first 45 mins in a car though, bumper to bumper on the M4, the whole road was closed cos of that lorry fire!

Anyway, i'm enjoying her, weathers a bit shitty today, can't wait til it's dry!

 

[DebV6]

I know what it's like, I get really attached to my cars too

 

[Djw Dave]

Gutted for you mate

 

[cli0 172]

oh dear ... u fell for that line

I bet the smile soon disappeared when you remembered that the 1*2's replacement was a Fiesta ST.

 

[tommyboy]

I wouldn't sell it because of a baby... f**k that. A 172 has a boot and enough room. You gave in

Well the Ford would be better built maybe?

Although, saying that - I'm on the hunt for a 172 :star:

 

[tommyboy]

^ The Fiesta ST is slower though...:S

 

[Tigger]

I can get very attached to my cars too

I'll miss my dci80 if I change over to the 172 - probably only the MPG :clown:

i made a compromise and bought a really expensive pushchair that folds small enough to fit in the boot of my 182..
couldn't see the point of getting rid of the car for a big tank like a vectra or something that would not make me smile as much..

 

[Nafoff]

should have sold it to me dan......lol

 

[Bluebeard]

should have sold it to me dan......lol

The roads are quiet, it would only take me 20 minutes to drive to shepton and poke you in the eye!

 

[miltage2]

well i dont normally have cars long enough to get attached to them! 6 cars in just under 5 years and 3 of those where 05 reg cars and 2 of those where new! Deb will understand what im like with cars!
love me 182 thou i think she is hear to stay!

 

[ukaskew]

I know how you feel, so close to shedding a tear when my Cup went in September.

If it's any consolation I still feel completely s**t about it now, 3 months later, so good luck with that I even enjoyed the commute to work back then, now I avoid driving whenever possible.

 

[Graham Gooch]

I can fully understand the whole getting attached to cars. I cant imagine smiling when the 182 goes, which for the record wont be yet

lol ! took the words right out my mouth.

 

[Middo]

i know your pain, i felt so sad when i sold my 1.2

 

[haitch]

had a similar talk with mine, told her if she wants a bigger boot she better go buy one.
